State trooper charged with OUI released

ACTON -- A 41-year-old state trooper was released on personal recognizance after pleading not guilty to operating under the influence of alcohol after her arrest by Acton police early Sunday morning.

In Concord District Court on Monday, Angela Guerrera, 41, of Boxboro was released with bail by Judge Sabita Singh, but the defendant was ordered to not operate a motor vehicle without a valid license.

The next scheduled hearing is Feb. 22.

Guerrera, who was off-duty at the time, was driving on Main Street about 1:20 a.m., when an Acton police officer pulled her over due to reports her vehicle was driving erratically moments earlier in the town of Maynard, according to David Procopio, director of media communications for the state police.

The Acton officer determined Guerrera was impaired and arrested her for operating under the influence of liquor and failure to stop at a red light, according to Procopio.

State police relieved Guerrera of duty, meaning she will be on administrative leave pending a formal departmental status hearing, which will be held this week, Procopio said.

Guerrera is assigned to the state police Recruitment Section, according to Procopio.
